Starting next week, the ATP Tour will move to Europe, with the first clay masters of the year, the Monte Carlo race, in contention. Known as the vane of the French Open, the Monte Carlo Masters is one of the must-compete events for many ATP masters. This year's Monca Masters are also a lot of players, although Nadal, Berrettini, Medvedev and Thiem are injured, but there is still no shortage of points to watch.
World number one Djokovic will return at the Monte Carlo Masters. Due to unvaccinated reasons, Djokovic played only one race in Dubai in the first three months of the season. After coming to the European clay season, Djokovic's participation will no longer be restricted. Djokovic, who has not participated in the official competition for a long time, will usher in the beginning of this year's clay season, which is the biggest attraction of the Monca Masters.
In 2005, at the age of 18, Nadal won his first Masters title in Monte Carlo, and 17 years later another 18-year-old genius turned out. Alcaraz, who just broke the Djokovic record in Miami, will strike again for the title in Monte Carlo. It's been a long time since there was an exciting player like Alcaraz in men's tennis, can the talented teenager make a surprise on this clay court this year?
In addition to Djokovic's return, this year's Monte Carlo Masters will also usher in a return of a Grand Slam champion. Wawrinka has never been on the Tour since his injury last March. He made his comeback at the Marbella Challenge last week, but it didn't work out well, and he was eliminated in the first round. Can Wawrinka, who returned to the Masters stage with a wild card, still be able to regain the state he once was?
In addition to the above players, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Rud, Rublev, Aliasim and Nori will also play in the Monte Carlo Masters. Can Zverev break the season championship drought? How far can Tsitsipas go to defend his title? Can anyone else successfully win the cup in this competitive open masters? The answers will be revealed next week.
